What a day in La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo scores five goals for Real Madrid while one by substitute Lionel Messi is enough to send Barcelona two points clear at the top of the table.

Thanks for your company. We're back on Sunday with live text commentary of the Milan derby. Until then...

You've been describing Ronaldo in just three words...

Eliane Daghe: The Record Breaker. 

Denis Fitton: Best, bar none. 

Richard N: The complete footballer.

All over in Turin. Reigning champions Juventus have a first point of the season but their performance against Chievo will hardly worry Manchester City ahead of their Champions League group game on Tuesday.

Both Atletico and Barcelona now turn their thoughts to the Champions League.

Will Lionel Messi return to the starting line-up when Barca begin the defence of their European title away to Roma on Wednesday?

Atletico are also away, with Diego Simeone's side travelling to Turkey to face Galatasaray on Tuesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi had not scored a league goal this season before today. Now they have six between them. Ok, Real Madrid's Ronaldo has five of them but Messi will be delighted with his one goal. His Barca team are looking down on the rest.

Three wins out of three for Barcelona. Two points clear at the top of the table. There's a familiar feel to La Liga.

Messi is human after all. 

Barca win a free-kick and it's within range. Up comes the Argentine and...it's a horrible finish.

Huge roars echo around the ground. Messi allows himself a smile. He won't want to see that again.

Most new dads are shattered, bags under their eyes and in desperate need of sleep. Not Lionel Messi. He's been at his menacing best since coming on.

Huge noise from the home fans as they attempt to rally their team.

But it's Barca who are finishing strongly. Lionel Messi is eyeing another goal and take a quick glance up before...blazing over the bar.

Barcelona are heading to the top of La Liga. A familiar sight. Luis Enrique's side once again are setting the pace. 

Let's get this right, Barcelona deserve the lead. They were by far the better team in the first half and their response to falling behind has been the stuff of champions.

Paul Pogba has made a difference for Juventus since coming on, and they should be level. Roberto Pereyra hits the base of the post with a shot on the turn, and Pogba charges on to the rebound, only for Nicolas Frey to make a stunning block.

Before that, though, Chievo could have gone two clear, with Bostjan Cesar's thump towards goal somehow kept out by Gianluigi Buffon. Superb reaction save,

Fifteen minutes left.

This game is on a knife-edge. Lots of finger nails are being bitten inside the Vicente Calderon - including a few in both dug-outs.

Diego Simeone will be furious. Atletico's lead lasted all of four minutes. They were guilty of taking their eye off the ball.

Another huge moment.

Lionel Messi plays in Neymar and Diego Godin clears the ball with what looks like his hand - no penalty.

Rafael Benitez and his Real Madrid players will be happy if the score stays like this. 

Real were one point clear at the top of the table before this game. 

After all that drama the game has settled back down.

But what's this? Here come Barcelona again.

Another patient build-up ends in Luis Suarez fluffing a half chance.

An unsurprising half-time change at the Juventus Stadium. Midfielder Paul Pogba, who was being held in reserve for Tuesday's Champions League trip to Manchester City, is on as a substitute for Claudio Marchisio. Juve have never before lost their opening three Serie A matches - but are 45 minutes away from doing exactly that.
